Coffee, Cakes & Paperchase, Glasgow

Paperchase in Glasgow (185-221 Buchanan Street, G1 2JZ) has a variety of cards for every
occasion from birthday to graduation, and get well messages. They also offer a
selection of cute stationary, iPhone cases, books, notepads, calendars,
planners and gifts. In addition they also have party supplies and
seasonal decorations. They also happen to have one of my favorite cafes in
the city centre, Tinderbox.

I first visited Tinderbox in 2013 on Ingram Street.
It was one of the places where I managed to find my favorite drink and cake,
which was rhubarb crumble. I can highly recommend it especially if you
have more time and a few friends with you, as at the back of the cafe there is
a decent selection of board games. I am not sure if Tinderbox
on Buchanan Street has board games anywhere, but to be fair I was not
looking for them.

It is quite unusual to have a craft store and cafe
together but I really like this idea for its novelty. Additionally, since the
cafe is in the city centre, opposite the Buchanan Galleries, it is
very convenient to pop in for a quick break and something sweet.

If you have a sweet tooth and want something
delicious Tinderbox definitely knows how to satisfy your taste buds. Their
sweet and treat selection has a large variety to find something including
chocolate or pistachio puffs, lemon tart, blueberry muffins, and white
chocolate cheesecake. Tinderbox's drinks also do not disappoint.
Usually I would go for Suki tea, however after a busy day I wanted a large cinnamon
latte. I do like my latte in tall latte glass so I was slightly disappointed
with presentation. Nevertheless latte was very tasty.

I could not help myself but to have a browse
afterwards, quite a few items caught my eye. I would really like to see
slightly more wedding related accessories as wedding season is going to be
in full swing soon.

I noticed that they also hold craft workshops. That
is definitely something I will have a look at in the future. It would
be lovely to take part in a workshop, especially while I am in Glasgow for
another city break.

I have been in this Paperchase quite a few times and never noticed the cafe. Looks super cute I'll definitely have to have a more thorough look next time I'm in Glasgow - maybe I get distracted by all the pretty stationary haha! The chocolate puffs and white chocolate cheesecake sound so so good although my mum makes a smashing rhubarb crumble so maybe I'll have to test out Tinderbox's to compare ;).
